Hello,
I am considering to use headless Drupal as content provider for Gatsbyjs. Our weblog is wordpress at the moment (http://blog.kamva.ir)
since Gatsby.js is a static site framework, I was wondering if any of you considered it. It's super fast! if yes, did you use a Gatsby plugin for it? how did it set up?
I want to use this setup for our main landing page https://kamva.ir

Hi,
Gatsby is a nice choice.
In fact there is one sample gatsby site that uses contenta CMS as api source.
https://using-drupal.gatsbyjs.org/ (Gatsby based website)
https://live-contentacms.pantheonsite.io/ (Drupal Backend)
This gatsby website is hosted in netlify and its api is hosted in pantheon.io server.
And gatsby plugin to fetch data from drupal is:
https://www.gatsbyjs.org/packages/gatsby-source-drupal/
I assume this is just a single page website https://kamva.ir and gatsby will fit right into it.
However, if its a blog, having just homepage as gatsby would not be possible as per my knowledge.
Gatsby want full control of website. It will preload all associated links in homepage after page is loaded in background so that users can have seamless and fast page loading.
If you want to build the entire blog in Gatsby then it will fit right into it with super fast page load.
Best -

thank you Sarath, Contenta
thank you Sarath, Contenta CMS sounds awesome!
I guess I'll get on it :) will post the results here. using Gatsby with Wordpress is such a pain in neck. That's why I looked into Drupal.
Will be back with new فروشگاه ساز

Gatsby and "Headless" Drupal
I have been reading on this, playing a bit with Gatsby, but one question I haven't yet found answer to is, in a headless setup with Gatsby, a static site builder handling the front end, do I need to have the Drupal site on the production platform, or does it only need to be connected to the Development environment, and the content becomes part of the static site output?
